So to have the prices of all the boxes in your budget we recommend you to change the pack of each box and control your budget.

“By this way you would be able to select whatever you want to watch on each TV and pay for that content only rather than paying higher for default primary content on secondary boxes,” a Tata Sky representative said.

On the other hand,DTH operators like D2h and Airtel Digital, continue to provide Multi TV benefits. D2h, for example, gives a flat network fee (NCF) of Rs 50 on all subsequent connections, while Airtel Digital gives a discount of Rs 50 on the NCF of subsequent connections.
